Description: Cambridge Educational Services invites teachers to an enjoyable and informative Testing Readiness Dinner. While enjoying food and drinks at a four star restaurant in the Denver area, this company will present a radically new perspective on testing that offers the possibility of implementing a Unified Testing Readiness Initiative (UTRI) in schools that wish to boost graduation rates, prepare students for the challenging business climate, and send more students on to college and graduate school. Cambridge Educational Services wants to recognize teachers and the hard work they do at this complimentary dinner. While sharing a gourmet meal with other educational professionals, you will:
1. Analyze recent changed to the ACT® test and other tests to see how they will affect your students and your programming.
2. See how a mathematically sophisticated model can be used to identify student skill gaps.
3. Learn how data reports can improve programming and address developmental needs to raise test scores
4. Make sure your institution is taking full advantage of available federal grants, local education subsidies, and individual scholarships.
5. Introduce yourself to a representative of the Cambridge Award Program. Cambridge offers both individual and institutional assistance.
